Increasing financial limits, a new play-off system in eWinner of the 1st League, as well as the possibility of placing a foreign junior in the 2nd Speedway League - these are some of the important regulations changes that took place before the 2022 season. Why were they introduced? The chairman of GKSŻ, Piotr Szymański, tells about it.


3 thousand PLN (per point) - 300 thousand. PLN (for signature) - this is what speedway riders who signed contracts in eWinner of the 1st League will be able to earn as much as possible. The limits of the lowest division have also increased significantly. 1.7 thous. PLN (per point) - 150 thousand. PLN (for signature). Why did GKSŻ decide on such a radical raise?

- Increasing the financial limits was a natural move. We know the market situation and we decided to adjust the rates to the knowledge we have in the field of finance. We know that in the lower leagues there are speedway riders who sign really high contracts - tells us Piotr Szymański, chairman of the GKSŻ.

Also new is the play-off system in eWinner 1. Liga. This time, not four, but six teams will advance to the decisive part of the competition. - We are trying to make the first league as close as possible to PGE Ekstraliga, which was the first to introduce changes to the play-off system. Besides, the clubs were almost unanimous and talked about the need to increase the number of matches. We have listened to these voices and we believe that the league will benefit from it. Both fans and television will be satisfied - argues Szymański.

However, the biggest changes are in the second league, where it will be allowed to start a foreign player in the junior positions. In addition, the clubs were released from the obligation to have a speedway rider under the age of 24 in the match team.

- It was a necessity, because we were afraid that after the formation of the U24 Ekstraliga an unhealthy fight for Polish juniors would start. For the same reason, we decided in the lowest league to abolish the obligation to have a speedway rider up to 24 years old in the match team. If we did not do it, the costs could be increased - summarizes the chairman of the GKSŻ.
